A Study on the Effects of a Group Cooperative Presentation Class on English Grammar Learning for University Students

This study aims to find out the effects of presentation class on English grammar learning for university students. Also, this study explores students' perceptions and satisfaction with cooperative classes. To achieve these goals, 55 students in 2 groups participated in the cooperative presentation class. Each group prepared for the presentation on English grammar for 12 weeks. In addition to the presentation class, the second group(focus group) participated in cooperative activities to solve English grammar problems. Lastly, 34 students completed the questionnaires regarding the cooperative class. The results are as follows. First, the cooperative presentation class was effective in English grammar learning in both groups. Second, even though the second group(focus group) took part in the cooperative activities to solve English grammar problems, there was no significant difference between two groups. Lastly, according to the questionnaires, both groups were aware of the importance of learning English. Most of the students answered that they actively participated in the presentation class. Also, they seemed more focused on the class. Especially, the second group(focus group) answered group work is effective for concentrating on class. Furthermore, they hoped to have group cooperative presentation class in the future. Therefore, showing the effectiveness of cooperative presentation class, English instructors could consider adopting this kind of class for various fields of English learning.
